“We need
to put down our armor of cynicism and irony and thinking that we know about
everything that matters. We need to try to grapple with the beauty of the world
as young people do: in an open, vulnerable way. It’s cheesy as all get out,
but… when you’re lying down with your friends under a big sky at night and
you’re looking at the stars and you’re conscious of how large the universe is,
that’s a borderline sacred experience. If you lose that in adulthood, you’ve
lost something really important.”— Young-adult
novelist, vlogger, philanthropist, and philanthropist John Green quoted by David
Marchese, “The Interview: John Green Knows That No One Really Loves You on the
Internet,” The New York Times Sunday Magazine, Nov. 30, 2025
